Bob, To log into vcs, first log into mgt.
He can't. He doesn't have a static IP address (as far as I know -- Tomasz, if I'm wrong, let me know). I asked him to ask sysadmin for an account on fencepost but I don't think that has happened yet. There is a firewall on all of the VMs that prevents direct access from the Internet. At least at the iptables level, that is not true for vcs, which is precisely why I (tried to) set Tomasz up the way I did. It allows ssh from anywhere since that is necessary for some VC access. However, do you know if there is some other "firewall"-type thing (whatever that means) that would stop "ssh r...@vcs.sv.gnu.org" at the user level (not the ssh level), resulting in the usual "Permission denied (publickey)."? Tomasz hasn't been able to log in yet. All very frustrating. I know there is an FSF "firewall" in front of Savannah but as far as I know it would not be affecting this. karl
